LAS VEGAS -- Atlanta is expected to end up re-signing center Jason Collins.



Sources said Sunday at the NBA Summer League nothing is imminent due to the free agent currently being in Europe. But expectations are he eventually will re-sign after his return later this week, and it would figure to be a minimum deal worth $1.229 million.



Collins, 31, averaged just 0.7 points and 0.4 rebounds in 24 games in 2009-10, his first season with Atlanta. But the Hawks like his locker-room presence, and his 7-foot, 255-pound frame provides plenty of size, if needed.
